„Wake up Al..", Natasha whispered shaking Alanna awake, who only grinned as a response. The thing was, Natasha didn't really like waking Alanna up this early and specially not this week. Her body still was hurting because of the fight in New York and she was pretty sure it would still be hurting until the end of the next week.

So let's be clear now. Alanna was not a morning kid, but her home school teacher loved to be on time so this meant Alanna had to be on time as well.
We're talking about 8 o'clock here.

It was currently 7:30.

"C'mon, you have to get ready...and I made pancakes...", Natasha continued trying to convince Alanna to get up.

The little brunette, loved pancakes, this was probably one of the reasons why she even woke up in the mornings.

„I'm already up!"

****

Down in the kitchen Natasha was already sitting on the table. By this time it was 7:45 am. And there, Alanna came walking to her.

„How's your arm feeling cutie?", she asked right after swallowing one peace of pancakes.

„I can't feel anything mom, just the same as yesterday.", Alanna answered, hoping for all this to be over soon. She was sick of having a broken arm.

No playing outside.

Always needing help.

No playing with Lila the way she used to before.

But there were also good things about it. Her uncle Thor came to visit her just the day before.
Alanna loved her uncle Thor. And her uncle Tony visited her too! Honestly, she enjoyed his visits a lot. He had a lot of cool cars. He always drove her around New York with them, plus this man really couldn't live without his bad words so Alanna also really enjoyed getting money from him. Which he obviously didn't enjoy.

„Can you do my hair while I eat please mom?"

„Sure, come here...", Natasha said gesturing her to sit on a chair.

While Alanna ate Natasha made her a cute hairstyle.

Two high buns and in the front two curly strands of hair hanging down her forehead.

„Thank you momma!"

„You're welcome...", Nat answered giving have a kiss on her right cheek.
„Don't forget, today you have dance practice today so you have to go get ready right after school. And then after dancing Steve is coming over.", she went on.

„Yayyy, Steve is coming over!"

„Yeah, he's coming over for a coffee, you have to behave."

„since when do I not behave, huh?"

„I would like to start counting, but sadly I can't because your teacher's here.", Nat said walking towards the apartment door.

****

After 6 hours of homeschooling, 3 breaks and an irritated Alanna it was finally over.

The homeschool part.

"Go get ready for dancing, your Teacher wants to talk to me..."

Even though Alanna would just be watching the others dance, it was important to Natasha that Alanna kept up with the others. That's why she even went there even with an broken arm.

"Alright momma.", Alanna answered her before running to her room.

"So miss Romanoff...", the teacher started.

Honestly, who starts a conversation this way!?  Natasha thought. 

„Is there something wrong with Alanna?",she then questioned.

„Oh no...everything is okay with her, she's a talented,  cute, and way too smart girl. The thing is, she's not pretty social, isn't she? She doesn't have many friends, and not that I should care, but this is something kids her age need. It's important for her future..."

„Oh, but she has friends, the girls from dance class and she has Lila!", Nat said not convinced about what the teacher was telling her. She had lots of things planned for the future and stop homeschooling her daughter wasn't one.

„Lila is her cousin and she doesn't even talk about those friends she has in her dancing classes. Miss Romanoff, I think she's ready to go to school..."

„Well sadly you're just her teacher and I'm her mother so I get to decide if she goes to school or not, now please could you please excuse me, I have to bring my daughter to her dancing lessons."

And without even overthinking it, Natasha helped the woman find the way out of her house, got her daughter and brought her to her dancing lessons.

„I'll see you later cutie, give mommy a kiss."

Alanna gave her a peck on her cheek and ran of into the building.

Natasha couldn't stop thinking about what the teacher had told her. Was it really true. Did Alanna really have to go to school? Was this really the better option?
It couldn't be. It would be way too dangerous. She just wanted the best for her daughter.
She didn't know whether this was the right decision to make but in the end she had to trust herself and the decisions she was making. If it was a good Idea or not would come out anyway.

What Natasha did after bringing Alanna to her dancing lessons was nothing out of normal.She took hours for herself so she went back to her apartment, cleaned Alanna's room and hers. After that she went to S.H.I.E.L.D and trained there, she even danced a little ballet like in the old times. She then took a shower and that's how to her the two hours went flying by.

"Mooooom!", Alanna shouted running into Natasha's arms.

"How was dancing cutie?", Nat asked still hugging her.

"It was good. I will finally be able to dance with the bigger girls in group dances soon, miss García is thinking about giving me a solo when my arm is healed!"

"I'm so happy for you cutie, that's so awesome!"

"Now let's go, you still need to take a bath and learn for tomorrow's school lessons."

They were walking back to the car by now. And Alanna was pretty exited because they were finally getting home.

"And then we'll see Steve?", she asked.

"Yeah, and then we'll see Steve."
